The poems in this series were selected by Felicia Rice of Moving Parts Press from the work of noted Santa Cruz poets Ellen Bass, Danusha Laméris, and Gary Young. Each poem addresses issues of loss and recovery in the face of crisis. Felicia designed and printed these limited editions in her new studio in Mendocino where she has relocated due to the total loss of her Bonny Doon home and letterpress shop in the CZU August Complex Fire in August 2020. All sales of the broadsides will be donated by Bookshop Santa Cruz to aid in recovery from the devastating wildfires in the Santa Cruz Mountains of August 2020.
